As a resident of Florida you should be familiar with 3 forms of identification just to get a drivers license. Why shouldn’t there be three forms of ID to vote? You have brought up Tax Return Fraud, these are probably the same people who are voting fraudulantly. Acorn proved that some individuals voted several times. You certainly are a typical democrat and willingly to keep your office any way you can. You lost my vote, but maybe you can find someone to vote using my name.

Alan Lidstone posted a thoughtful and knowledgeable analysis of this situation, which means that at least half of the people who read it either will not understand it or will simply ignore it and continue to blindly embrace their own ignorant points of view. We need to start teaching critical thinking skills much earlier in our educational system, which would result in people being much less likely to accept political maneuvers like disenfranchising voters.

What was originally announced as an indication of 182,000 illegal voters based on an egregiously bad analysis of DMV records dropped to FL Sec’y of State to 2600 illegal voters in several FL counties, and subsequently to approximately 40 people who voted illegally as of June 8, 2012.

The Governor and FL Sec’y of State then said they had to use the faulty DMV records which only record citizenship information since 2010 to comply with Federal requirements and that Homeland Security would not give them access to federal information.

Apparently the Governor and Sec’y of State were unaware that FL driver licenses are good for six years, which meant that FL driver license applications have no verification of driver citizenship for years 2007, 2008, 2009, and part of 2010 because the state never asked for it.

The FL Governor and Sec’y of State have three problems. The first is that Homeland Security only has citizenship information for individuals who apply for visas to enter the U.S., apply for U.S. citizenship, apply for a U.S. passport, or have been subject to investigation by Homeland Security and its’ many agencies. Homeland Security does not have citizenship information on illegal aliens who stay as far away as possible form Homeland Security unless they contact HHS or are apprehended by HHS.

The second is that Florida election law regarding voter rolls clearly stipulates that people cannot be removed from the voter rolls within 90 days of an election (which is currently scheduled for August 2012).

The third problem is that do you think anyone in their right mind could trust the Governor or Secretary of State with any sensitive citizenship information concerning 325 million people that might be provided by Homeland Security, et al, regarding voter fraud. After spending at least several hundred thousand dollars of taxpayer funds we have gone from 187,000 to 2300 to 40 people who may have voted illegally.

Unfortunately, there are people voting illegally in Florida. I wonder how many of the illegal voters are simply snowbirds with homes in Florida that vote in their winter residence state (FL), or their home state.

We have a governor who wants small government, but demands that Homeland Security, Immigration, Dept of State and other federal agencies to provide more bits, bytes, and paper of negligible value to harass FL residents and voters.

“”"I say hell NO, go back to your sewer country”"”

What a disgusting person you are.

When are Republicans going to start acting like they care about Judeo-Christian values?

Probably never, since most of those on the right who actually care about Judeo-Christian values have already left the GOP.

Moderates and Indies need to join with the Democrats to elect people who actually give a damn about America and not people who are on an Ayn Rand “Me Me Me” death wish for this country.

Voting is a civil right – and legal voters have the right NOT to have their votes nullified by the ballots of those who are ineligible to vote.

AAAHHHHH!!! I feel real bad for those illegals and felons not being able to vote, don’t you? After all, how many dead people voted in 2008? Let’s also not forget those who voted several times and the cartoon charicters that elected that POS traiter three years ago.
Are better off now than you were before this liar in chief took office?

There is no legitimate argument against purging names of people who should not be voting. There has not been ONE person deleted who should have been permitted to vote. The ACLU and Obama Justice Department just want to continue their practice of fraudulent voting practices (having one person in the hood voting fomcl tipple times for dead people or people who don’t exist)

Republicans and Tea Party types are worried about a handful of non-citizen who may accidentally or intentionally cast a vote, and thus find it justified to potentially purge legitimate voters from the rolls.

But those same Republicans and Tea Party types are not at all worried about the voting systems used that have been shown to contain several bugs resulting in 100′s if not 1000′s of over and/or under votes.

Why are they not going after this issue with as much or greater vigor as they are with purging voter rolls?

Could it be that the companies making the voting systems, and their upper management, have been lobbying hard and making hefty campaign donations to The Republicans and Tea Party?

Or could it be that voters wrongfully purged tend to vote for Democrats and not Republican/Tea Party?

Hispanics, Haitians and other illegals should be grateful they have a country (USA) to escape to, to avoid thier self created Hell Holes of nations. But they have become rude ingrates who want to kill the goose that laid the golden egg.
I say hell NO, go back to your sewer country and stop polluting this wonderful country!
